McCarter Cellars

Let's talk pink! 🌸

How rosé gets its color is easily one of the top questions people ask me. There's a common myth that it's just a blend of leftover wines, but the real process is a beautiful mix of science and art. 🎨🧪

Whether it's letting the grape skins sit just long enough (maceration) or gently pressing them right away, every method creates a completely different style and flavor profile.

Check out this chart to see how the magic happens! 📊 From crush to bottle, this is the McCarter Cellars way—blending Old World techniques with modern precision.

Which method surprises you the most? Let me know below! 👇
